Sewing

It is always good to learn new skills! For both male and female, learning to sew makes you more independent and self sufficient, allows you to express your own style, create unique, thoughtful gifts, and gives you a sense of accomplishment!

This class is for both male and female students age 8-adult. Students begin by learning the basics of machine operation and the different stitches and their uses. During the first 6 weeks students will make 2-3 projects: a rice bag, pillowcase, and tote bag. In subsequent weeks students will progress at their individual rate from learning how to construct projects from a pattern to creating projects of their choice, i.e.: stuffed toys, quilts, or designing their own fabric and clothing.

Meditative Art

In this relaxing class you can decompress from the stresses of the day. Beginning with a short guided meditation we move into an art project using a variety of media. No meditation experience needed. No artistic talent required. Just come and relax and express yourself.
